For over a decade, I've worked with individuals to improve their mental and emotional health and develop their resilience in a number of settings including counselling and healthcare centres. I'm trained with an extensive and specialized background in supporting and training individuals, couples, and organizations on building communication, emotional intelligence and coping skills based on scientifically-supported psychological approaches of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). When working with clients, I strive to create a safe, inclusive environment and a strong relationship to help clients resolve their problems and achieve their goals. Goals and tasks for treatment are always collaboratively identified with careful consideration of clients’ unique needs and perspectives.

I work with clients to resolve issues relating to relationship distress, self-criticism, perfectionism, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation difficulties. I have a special interest in helping clients resolve relationship issues involving intimate partners, family, friends, and coworkers. I did my couples training with Dr. Leslie Greenberg, who is the creator of Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, a scientifically validated couples treatment. I help couples identify the source of their distress, change unhelpful emotional patterns, heal from past emotional injuries, and re-connect in healthier ways.

I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology from York University. There, I completed extensive research and published on common emotional difficulties clients may experience in therapy, such as low self-esteem and self-criticism, and what factors help clients resolve their problems long term to live more self-compassionate, productive, and satisfying lives. I completed my internship at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) where I gained further training in supporting individuals with more complex emotional needs in the Complex Care and Recovery Program and Borderline Personality Disorder Clinic.

I am a member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario, Ontario Psychological Association, the Society for Psychotherapy Research, and the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration.
